I feel like car culture in the US is really hurting adoption rates. Just about every man over 40 that I know hates EVs, not all, but the vast majority.
But so many of them are known as their circles “car guy” so people seek out their opinions. Then they say the stupidest shit. You see it in this sub all the time. And they’ll always push those goalposts back when their prediction is wrong. Hell according to “car guys” from 10 years ago, I should have had to replace the battery 3+ times for $10k a pop in my volt because “they use the same batteries and cell phones and those things are garbage after 2 or 3 years”
They also pretend that you can’t charge at home. Or that the range is terrible. Hell you even hear the claim that they are all unreliable and impossible to fix.
So sick of people that hold on to the past with an iron grip
I’m not being a dick, I think you just missed my point. In most friends groups, men over 40 are often asked what they think is best, and because of our car culture they often give shitty advise.
